BUMP that
I WAS the Godmother of 2 girls. My HS friends had children and asked me, and I excepted. I was GREAT. Not having children myself, my parents even got in on the act as if they were god grandparents. But after 14 years, no longer.
One woman took me for granted, thought GODMOTHER meant DADDY. I did a lot for this child, but I'm not the DADDY. It was simply never enough. I sponsored schhol pictures, school trips, Great Christmass, took to movies, slumber parties, then when I told the girl about how badly she was acting, the mother got mad at me, saying she's not my daughter. What a joke.
As for the other, same scenario, but she picked-up moved out of town, no forwarding address, or anything. My mom ran into her a month back, she was here because her dad was sick, she didn't even call, but lied to my mom and said she was.
If you have brothers or sisters, let them be godparents, after all if you die, unless it's stated in the will they will get your children anyway. I think it's a joke in most cases.
